Real Reef Shelf Rock

Real Reef Rock is made of 100% natural, marine friendly ingredients. Its comprised of the same building blocks which wild coral and living reef rock are composed of, but because the ingredients are not taken from the ocean, there is zero environmental impact to the world's coral reefs or marine habitat. The prepared rock is cultivated in closed systems on land, thus avoiding additional environmental impact that ocean mariculture or ocean farming may create.

The end result is a 100% natural eco friendly Live Rock alternative for the consumer that consistently looks better than any of its wild or ocean cultured counterparts. Real Reef does not harbor nuisance algaes, inverts and unwanted hitch hikers that wild live rock inherently does. It offers the aquarist a clean biologically active rock, which mitigates all the issues of wild live rock, including the process of waiting for the death to subside, AKA curing.

Real Reef Rock Artificial Shelf Rock

Real Reef Shelf Rock is our version of the shelf or slab rock that use to be imported from the Kingdom of Tonga for many years, before getting banned for destructive collection practices.

Many have try tried to ship similar wild products from countries like Indonesia of Fiji, but fell short of the beauty and table top shape of the Tonga Shelf Live Rock. The Real Reef Team used Tonga Shelf as model to replicate and the results are so similar to the old Tonga Shelf that most think it is the real thing!

If you always liked the look of true Tonga Shelf, without the environmental reef impact, than this is the rock for you! Works great for adding shelfs to your existing or planned aquascape. Great for creating shelfs to accommodate frags, clams and other marine life needing a flat surface. Made from the same all natural calcium based ingredients as Real Reef Rock and functions great as a natural filter or growing surface.
